Thursday’s upgrade shoved ROLR into that coveted tier for the first time since its public debut last year.

Fund Flow Clues
Daniel J. Whitman noted that 24 mid-cap growth funds added ROLR positions in the latest reporting period. Holdings among the group rose to $310 million, up from $90 million the prior quarter.
Top buyers included:
- Apex Mid-Cap Growth Fund
- Ridgeview Technology Opportunities Fund
- Sentinel Small-Mid Cap Core Fund
The inflows coincide with the company’s pivot toward AI-driven casino analytics, a niche expected to grow 25% annually through 2027.
Risk Check
Despite the euphoria, the stock’s Relative Strength line has yet to hit new highs. Traders warn that a pullback toward the $16.50 breakout level could still occur if broader markets weaken.
Short interest sits at 4.1% of the float, low enough to limit a squeeze but high enough to add fuel on any additional upgrades.
Key Takeaways
- ROLR’s RS Rating of 99 ranks it among the market’s strongest names
- Institutional volume exploded after the upgrade
- Fund ownership jumped 244% last quarter
- Momentum traders now watch for follow-through above $19.00
The sudden leap from middling to elite status places High Roller Technologies squarely on every growth investor’s radar.
